Long haul fares

Our long haul fares are for all international flights, except flights between any two of these countries: New Zealand, Australia, Honolulu, Bali, South Pacific Islands.

You can choose Economy, Premium Economy or Business Premier™, with the options of Global Sale, Global Saver or fully refundable Global Flexi fares. All our fares are one-way rather than return, with no additional one-way surcharge. This gives you the freedom to book different fares for each direction of your journey.

Take a moment to check the fare conditions below, so you can choose the booking flexibility, baggage allowance and comfort options you need. When you book online with us, a link in the 'view details' section will show the relevant fare conditions before you complete your booking.

If you only book one direction of your journey, be aware that some countries can have stricter entry requirements if you arrive without a booked return flight.

All our long haul fares are eligible for Airpoints Dollars™ and Status Points, unless booked in F class (grabaseat™ fares) or purchased with Airpoints Dollars. Each fare has a different earning rate. For details see our Airpoints™ calculator.

Business Premier fares are eligible for Airpoints companion tickets on Air New Zealand operated flights, unless companion tickets are purchased with Airpoints Dollars. Economy and Premium Economy fares may also be eligible, contact us to find out.

Changes

Name changes are not permitted on any fares, so you can't transfer them to another person.

Global Sale, Global Saver and Global Flexi fares all allow date changes and rerouting right up until departure. You'll have to pay any fare difference. If you're not making the change online, a service fee of NZD $60 per change per seat applies for changes made from within New Zealand, otherwise the service fee of the country you're calling from will apply.

Business Premier: NZD $100 for each one-way journey per person (infants excluded)

There's no booking change fee for Global Flexi fares.

No shows

If you don't show up in time for your flight, with a Global Sale or Global Saver fare the one-way fare will be cancelled with no refund. With a Global Flexi fare however, you can change the booking following a no show, subject to a NZD $300 change fee.
